By now, we're all familiar with the story. Two guerilla photographers, while trying to snap unauthorized photographs of Tom and Gisele's wedding at her home in Costa Rica, allege they were shot at while trying to "escape" the security detail hired for the event. USA Today reports:
The photographers are alleging the security guards were improperly trained and that Brady and Bundchen OK'd their team to "discharge firearms with intent to kill or wound."
While interviewed during the off-season, this is what Brady had to say about the incident:
Brady and Bündchen were quietly married on Feb. 26 in Santa Monica, Calif. On April 4 they held a larger ceremony for family and friends at a secluded beachfront in Costa Rica. Not surprisingly, snooping photographers also showed up. Two claimed that bodyguards for Brady and Bündchen shot at their car. "Absolute total b.s.," Brady said last week. "We found two guys on our property, and we told them to get out. Our security guys didn't even have guns. There were no shots fired."

The picture isn't dispositive one way or the other
But the lack of bullet holes combined with the facts that the window looks an awful lot like you’d expect if someone took a baseball bat to the window and took a few swings at it and that Brady says their security didn’t even carry guns would seem to suggest it’s a nuisance suit.
And they filed in New York. Not Costa Rica, where the shooting allegedly happened. Not in California or Massachusetts, where the Bradys live. Sounds like they’re shopping for a favorable jurisdiction.
This is sooooo not news
The picture-takers (photographers sounds too respectable) smashed their own windshield when they were shooed off the property so they could still profit from their failed mission. Maybe they had to pay their own way to Costa Rica and want to recoup some of the expense, make a name for themselves, and otherwise try to benefit from two very wealthy people.
No, I have no idea what happened but to allege that Brady and Bundchen took the time to train their security guards to shoot weapons is just ludicrous.
Keep the faith!
Brady
Brady really looked up and positive in his locker room interview. Hope its a good sign for the weekend.
Mike Florio questions ESPN's non-coverage of these "serious claims"
Mike Florio calls into question the hiring by ESPN of The Kraft Group to sell local advertising for the brand new ESPNBoston.com. Florio thinks this presents a huge conflict of interest for ESPN and offers the site’s non-coverage of the paparazzi lawsuit against Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen as proof.
That said, the new civil suit against Tom Brady, which gives new meaning to the term “shotgun wedding,” has been addressed at ESPNBoston.com. But there’s not a single mention of the serious claims made against one of the top quarterbacks in the league on the mother ship’s mother site — not even on the supposedly ESPN.com AFC East blog.
It’s almost as if a conscious decision has been made to slip the thing onto the Boston-focused arm of ESPN.com, without exposing the broader audience to the news.
Serious claims? Brady and Bundchen trained their security guards on how to use guns, and told them they could shoot to wound? Even for Florio’s standards, this can’t be considered a serious claim.
Keep the faith!
Florio's a putz
I refuse to give him an ounce of credibility. He skirts around ethics by proclaiming his wild stories as “rumors”. Heck, maybe I should setup a rumor section on this blog and allege Florio is actually a CIA agent bent on controlling the minds of us sports fans.

We all know that's not true
Everyone knows he works for the FSB.
whoever shot at the picture snapping turds needs shooting lessons,or learn to squeeze the trigger and not pull on it,lol. These maggots are out of control,my god,remember that some of them actually killed a real life princess a few years back chasing her down so they could get exclusive pics of a private part of her life?These scumbags need to be leashed,and or shot.Btw,mike florio is an idiot,always has been.He probably thinks that 9/11 was a government conspiracy too.As I said,idiot.
